Meeting and pickup

Pickup details

Our tours generally run for 8 hours, with a standard start time of 9:00 AM. I like to arrive about 10 minutes early to allow time for guests to get ready, but we can adjust the start time between 8:30 AM and 9:30 AM based on your preferences.

For guests staying in Speyside, the tour will be 6 hours to allow for travel time, though the full price remains the same.

Once you book and select your pickup location, I will confirm all the details with you. On the day of the tour, I will send you a text or call to let you know where I am (whether I’m at reception or outside), so you’ll have no trouble finding me.
